Ubuntu Linux自动发邮件配置及邮件发送脚本

测试环境：Ubuntu 11.10

1. 安装mutt及msmtp软件

sudo apt-get install mutt
sudo apt-get install msmtp

2. 编辑配置文件vi ~/.muttrc

set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set use_from=yes
set realname="Guobao Jiang"
set from=loveaborn@163.com
set envelope_from=yes

3.编辑配置文件vi ~/.msmtprc  (账号和密码相应改动,最好把该文件属性改为：

chmod 700 ~/.msmtprc

其他人不能修改和查看)

account default
host smtp.163.com
from loveaborn@163.com
auth plain
user loveaborn
password ####
logfile ~/.msmtp.log

4.编写自动发送邮件脚本，如下：

#!/bin/bash
######################################################################################
# this shell script is used to send mail automatically
# the root structure is
#      .
#      ./autosend.sh        -- this shell script
#      ./attach/            -- this folder stored mail's all attachment.
#      ./bak/               -- for backup
#      ./log/               -- send & unsend log files
#      ./mail/              -- mail text content, default file name './mail/mail.md'
#      ./readme.md          -- readme file (not mandatory)
# version: v0.1 @Aug. 4, 2013, by Guobao Jiang

dateInfo="$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)"
attachName="attach_$dateInfo.tar.gz";
contentFile="./mail/mail.md"
toName="loveaborn@foxmail.com"
ccName="loveaborn@163.com"
if [ -f ./mail/mail.md ]; then
        if [ ! -f ./log/send.log ];then
                touch ./log/send.log
        fi
        sendLog="./log/send.log"
        tar zcvf $attachName ./attach 
        sleep 2
        rm -rf ./attach/*
        mkdir -p "./bak/mail_$dateInfo"
        cp $attachName "./bak/mail_$dateInfo"
        cp ./mail/mail.md  "./bak/mail_$dateInfo"

        echo -e "   " >>$contentFile
        echo -e "------------------" >> $contentFile
        echo -e "Note: This mail is automaticall by my server." >> $contentFile
        echo -e "BR// Guobao Jiang (loveaborn@foxmail.com)" >> $contentFile
        echo -e "DateRecord: $dateInfo" >> $contentFile

        echo -e "  " >>"$sendLog"
        echo -e "-----------------------------------" >>"$sendLog"
        echo -e "Sending mail..."  >>"$sendLog"

        mutt -s "Update Experiments Result $dateInfo"  -c $ccName $toName 
                -a $attachName< "$contentFile"
        
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                rm -rf $attachName 
                rm -rf ./mail/mail.md 
                #rm -rf ./attach/*       # if success, delete all attachment files.
                echo -e "mail was sent to $toName and cc to $ccName successully!" >> 
                        "$sendLog"
        else
                rm -rf $attachName
                rm -rf "./bak/mail_$dateInfo"
                echo -e "mail sent failed! Please try again!" >>"$sendLog"
        fi
        echo -e "RecordTime:$dateInfo" >>"$sendLog"

else
        if [ ! -f ./log/record.log ]; then
                touch ./log/nosend.log
        fi
        echo -e "No mail contents to send!  RecordTime: $dateInfo" >>./log/nosend.log
fi

注意0： 文件autosend.sh，添加可执行属性

chmod u+x autosend.sh

注意1：附近 -a $attachName 放在最后，不然会出现如下错误：

Can’t stat loveaborn@foxmail.com: No such file or directory
loveaborn@foxmail.com: unable to attach file.

注意2：我的邮件内容是放在./mail/mail.md文件里的，发送完会备注到./bak下并删除原来的文件。

目录结构如下：
